«Breaking News» CBS CEO Moonves accused of sexual misconduct by more...

CBS CEO Les Moonves is to step down from his post in the next 24 hours, according to sources.

The news comes after six more women raised assault and harassment claims against Moonves in a media report published Sunday.

The new disclosures come as the media company negotiates his exit following similar claims previously made by six other women against the executive.

The incidents, which the women said took place between the 1980s and early 2000s, were published in a New Yorker story and included claims of forced sex, Moonves exposing himself and use of physical violence and intimidation. All six of the women were named. Reuters could not immediately reach them for comment.

Six weeks after the New Yorker's explosive story in which six woman accused CBS Corp. chairman and CEO Les Moonves of sexual harassment and intimidation going back several decades, the magazine has published a followup piece, which contains new sexual assaults

Moonves, 68, who joined CBS in 1995 and became CEO in 2006, could not immediately be reached to comment on Sunday after the latest claims. In a statement to the magazine, Moonves acknowledged three of the encounters, but said they were consensual.

'The appalling accusations in this article are untrue,' Moonves told the New Yorker. 'What is true is that I had consensual relations with three of the women some 25 years ago before I came to CBS. And I have never used my position to hinder the advancement or careers of women. In my 40 years of work, I have never before heard of such disturbing accusations. I can only surmise they are surfacing now for the first time, decades later, as part of a concerted effort by others to destroy my name, my reputation, and my career.'

CBS said on Sunday it takes such allegations very seriously. Variety is reporting the embattled CEO will step down before trading begins on Monday morning.

'The CBS Board of Directors is committed to a thorough and independent investigation of the allegations, and that investigation is actively underway,' the media company's board said in a statement.

A representative of CBS controlling shareholder Shari Redstone and National Amusements declined to comment.

The New Yorker reported on Sunday that the additional six women said Moonves also retaliated after they rebuffed him, damaging their careers.

In August, CBS hired two law firms to investigate allegations of sexual assault and unwanted advances following a New Yorker report that featured claims against Moonves from six women spanning different periods over two decades, from 1985 to 2006.

Following the New Yorker report in August, Moonves said he regretted 'immensely' making some women uncomfortable by making advances, but added that he abided by the principle that 'no' means 'no,' and stated he had never misused his position to harm or hinder anyone's career.

The author of the New Yorker articles, Ronan Farrow, previously has written reports that contributed to the resignation of Hollywood movie producer Harvey Weinstein from his film and TV studio following accusations of sexual misconduct.

Weinstein has denied the accusations, but his downfall helped spawn the #MeToo movement that has forced the resignation of powerful men in Hollywood, corporate America and politics.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
